Ep 14: Helping Our Daughters Make Good Friends with Amy Weatherly & Jess Johnston

“As painful as it is, it’s actually a gift to realize who your friends are not.”

So… what if middle school wasn't the worst? Today I am joined by Jess Johnson and Amy Weatherly, internet friends and founders of the Sister I Am With You online community where millions of women get real about friendships.

They’re also the bestselling authors of I'll Be There (But I'll Be Wearing Sweatpants), and their new book I'll Be There (And Let's Make Friendship Bracelets) is an adapted version for younger girls. Think of it like a how-to guide on friendship geared toward 8- to 12-year-olds.

As a mom of two young daughters, this resource is seriously so important and timely. I’m excited for you to hear Jess and Amy talk a bit more about how we can empower our daughters to make genuine, lasting friendships!

In this episode you’ll hear: 

  • How to engage your daughter with their new book

  • Advice they would give to their younger selves

  • The importance of choosing friends who choose you back
